A member asked:

Is it possible to stop a receding hairline?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For men Propecia (finasteride) : Receding hairlines can be stopped in their tracks with selective androgen blockers such as popecia. There are side effects however so discuss this with your own physician. It is easier to stop hairloss than to get it to grow back. Please keep this in mind.

Dr Rosenfeld and another doctor agreed
